As I sit here, getting some bites tonight in my outdoor office- scratching like crazy every 10 words or so....The neighborhood to the west and a little south of us is gearing up for carnival fun tonight. For the past hour, there is someone on a microphone, music, cheers, shouting. I suspect it will last until about midnight. The music is lively- are to keep from moving body parts.
So the other part of the title...yesterday my esteem raised in the eyes of the staff...my cute little goats became food for the team coming tomorrow. As part of the ritual, they prepare parts of the goat - I don't want to gross people out but first they cook some blood and offered it to me. I don't think they thought I would eat it but I did (actually, with the Barbincourt as a compliment, it wasn't bad ;-)) For supper they prepared a soup /stew of other parts - I asked they not be labeled -seemed like they would go down easier not knowing what they were. The liver was easily identifiable and I passed that on to the person on my left who enjoyed it immensely.
We played some cards- casino- so I am improving on that game. After everyone left, I had a swim, relaxed and read - the power was going off and on all evening so not much else to do. Same with today except I thought I would get goat steak...got fish, yams, corn au gratin and acra. Acra is my favorite but the rest is just food to fill my stomach.
Ewald was unablet to get out of work early enough to get his car insurance so still no wheels. I hope this week it happens.
Minnesota team begins arriving tomorrow (and Tuesday) with a full team and full schedule. The staff has been busy yesterday and today with preparations- all the bedrooms cleaned and made up with fresh linen, etc.
Menu planning under way..I'll try to get a look at it later.
Its getting darker, soon dark and I dont' have my light with me. and I need bug spray so I'll sign off. Have a good week everyone. Stay warm!
